Do not lay the baby on soft, heavy pillows which can lead to suffocation.

Keep electric sockets closed and cords out of reach.

Furniture and lamps should be secure or out of reach so they cannot be pulled over onto the baby.

Keep all medications, poisons, solvents or harsh chemicals out of reach and locked up. (see Poisons...)

You should purchase an ounce of syrup of ipecac at the drug store to have on hand should poison control or I should advise this to induce vomiting of an accidentally ingested poison. This should only be given on my advice or the advice of poison control.

Swimming instructions start at 3 to 5 years of age. Please fence your pool and learn CPR especially if you own a pool.
